The A7R was announced 3 years prior to the M1 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Sony A7R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the YI M1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a quick view of how the A7R grades versus the M1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Alpha A7R and YI M1. The whole galleries are viewable at Sony A7R Gallery and YI M1 Gallery.

When you are planning to carry around your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and measurements. The Sony A7R provides physical dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") with a weight of 465 grams (1.03 lbs) whilst the YI M1 has proportions of 114mm x 64mm x 34mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.3") and a weight of 350 grams (0.77 lbs).

Generally, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes just by looking at specifications. The image underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A7R and M1.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A7R with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A7R will give extra detail with its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged A7R is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
